What are your worst fears?

[Gough]

Because essentially what are suggesting is that Partys could promise anything they like and then once elected they can recant and say, sorry we didn't achieve a sufficient mandate to do this. it makes no sense whatsoever.
As for the Greens I would suggest that is exactly the way people look at them, they look at minutiae of their policy and how it will effect the upcoming Parliament, no one suggest for a moment that they will achieve government, the current voting system in the lower house does not allow for the break up of the two party duopoly.

If people view the Greens' policy platform through the lens of what is likely to be achievable for them given probable results, why can't they do the same thing for the major parties?

It's not like the fact that the Senate exists is a secret. If I vote for the Coalition I know precisely the likelihood is of them being able to pass some of this stuff. Just like if I vote for the Greens I know the likelihood of them being able to disband the WTO and IMF.

the idea of hell for me is a small square room with no doors and mirrors on every surface. have nightmares about it sometimes.

I once had a really weird dream that I had to go to hell to save a mate and bring him to heaven.

Once I went down to hell I was in this small square room with only 1 door. The rest of the walls were just painted white. No matter what I did I could never get to the door, it kept switching to other walls.

Eventually I some how go out of that room and was in a long hallway with a door at the end of it. No matter how fast I ran the door kept getting further and further away. Was such a frustrating dream.

had a dream the other night that i was in africa and hadn't had a malaria shot and was being hounded by mosquitoes. woke up sweating and quite frantic. has anyone else had a dream where they had little to no control over their arms, like you are trying to fight something off but it feels like you have just done the biggest weight session of your life and your arms have no strength at all?

Coming home from work after a hard day expecting a hearty meal and my wife serves me up a bowl full of dicks.

For me the biggest one would have to be losing any of my loved ones. I have very little fear of dying myself but the thought of anyone close to me passing away has always petrified me. Having had to watch one of my grandparents and also parent die in the past few years the fear has only grown stronger unfortunately.

Like others have already mentioned, becoming a quad/paraplegic, and/or brain damaged is probably my next greatest fear. I have complete admiration for those who have become impaired in this way that can carry on and play the cards they have been dealt and lead fulfilling lives. It may sound ungrateful, but i'd honestly rather die than end up this way.

oh and of course the usuals
-snakes
-ghosts
-mice
- public speaking
- chickens (childhood trauma lol )

 

[CLUBMEDhurst]

Failure due to lack of work ethic. Failure due to external impact I can handle, failure due to my own laziness I can't.

Do I detect a hint o' perfectionism?

 

[JDC!]

Cockroaches.

 

[Tiff]

These words.. "I'm pregnant".

 

[Super Hans]

I hate birds with a passion. And to die via drowning would be so bad.

Buying toilet paper! Am I alone in this world?
As of now, I have two rolls left in the bathroom. Am dreading having to get more.

At the shops, I'm like a dirty old man heading into a pr0n shop.
Approaching Aisle 8: Bathroom/House Products causes my heart to beat faster.
Hope to god no-one's about.
Sneak a look left and right
All clear, good. Make my move.
Damn, people arrive. God-damn it!
My focus turns to something else:
"Oh look, a mop and a bucket, how nice...."
Have they gone yet? Good.
Back to the toilet paper...
Right, these are cheap, 4-pack for $3, what brand? no idea...6-pack for.... Oh fcuk! People!
Grabs nearest packet,
Quickly puts it in trolley.
Hides it with cereal box or other large item.
Scurries away.
Keeps it hidden at the checkout.
Looks away when being swiped -- Har-Har!
Hope no-one notices me buying toilet paper...

Serious!

What did your parents do to you?! Everyone has an arse that needs wiping

I'd say drive instead of perfectionism. I can't control everything, but I can control what I put into something. If I put everything in, and failed, so be it. If I failed, and could have worked harder - unacceptable.

 

[Sebastian Balboa]

IceNine That's just it, I've had no traumatic experiences, wasn't fiddled with as a kid and no-one came within cooee of my bum. Totally irrational 'fear' but there it is.

 

[Tiff]

It's understandable albeit a bit girly.

Like that

 

[ioppolo]

Heights the obvious one...

I'm alright with spiders and snakes but not cockroaches - I don't know if I had some traumatic childhood experience with these things but I'm too scared to even go up and simply squash one.

Would love to go condom shopping with you.

Or tampon/pads if you're a girl.

 

[Sebastian Balboa]

Those don't bother me, so no worries.
Apart from that, I'm a perfectly adjusted member of the human race, ha!
